|---|---|
| anticodon | A sequence of three bases of a tRNA molecule that pairs with the complementary three |
| chromatin | tightly packed Eukaryotes. chromosomes to form a substance |
| codon | Sequence of three bases in DNA or mRNA that serve as a code for an amino acid. |
| exons | a segment of DNA that is transcribed into RNA and translated into protein, specifying the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. |
| histones | The proteins in a cell that DNA winds around |
| intron | sequence of a eukaryotic gene's DNA that is not translated into a protein |
| mrna | the RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes |
| Rrna | ribose |
| transcription | process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complementary sequence in RNA |
| trna | transports amino acids to the ribosomes to be assembled |
| UAG, UGA, UAA | stop, nonsense or termination codons. do not code for any aa.at this point stop the peptide chain. |
